Huge win for car owners! All TSBs to be made public.
The Center for Auto Safety just made the NHTSA (US Government) make public the full text of all TSBs from now on. They are the same organization that has petitioned the NHTSA & filed lawsuits to protect car owners over exploding gas tanks & other major safety issues.
Whenever you drive in your car, you are safer thanks in part to a lot of work over the years by this small but very effective consumer advocacy group.

2004 Chevrolet Colorado Owner Comments

I took this Colorado 4 door vehicle to the dealership yesterday for scheduled "detail" work, and they discovered the cabin carpeting to be saturated with liquid and mold growing on the underside of the carpeting with free flowing "water" under the carpet throughout the entire floor front to back of the cabin. I have not driven the vehicle for several months because I currently am healing from a knee injury, but I noticed yesterday that there was condensation on the inside of the windshield when I drove it to the dealership. Only two dealerships owned the vehicle prior to my purchase of the vehicle from the second dealership owner in 2005, and it has been under good care by me. I was not aware of the wet carpet when I took it for the detail work yesterday; I had a rubber mat under my feet. The vehicle has always had rubber matting front and back. When the dealership reported to me yesterday the wet conditions described above, I researched the internet and discovered that there is documentation related to this issue that has been determined to be a structural defect in the Colorado. Other than this problem, the vehicle is in outstanding condition.

I noticed my floor was soaking wet after a long rain... I checked the windows and doors to make sure they were not left open...my truck leaks somewhere from within. My buddy said it is probably the firewall... now my truck smells like mildew and continues to leak, im afraid it might mold and cause me or my family to get sick. The windows always fog up as a result of the dampness, making it harder to see at night.

This is pertaining a Chevy 2004 Colorado ls pick-up truck with black paint. I'm noticing the paint is blistering. This is not only happening on the hood, but also along the side panels. When the paint comes off, it is going to bare metal.

The wind noise is absolutely unbearable. After you get up to 40 mph and close the windows it souinds like a tornadp inside the truck, and this should not be. Called the reginal rep and was told that is the way it is and there is nothing they can do about it.
